FOREWORD The high level of Maternal and Newborn morbidity and mortality has not changed substantially over the last decade as shown by the WHO 2007 report, with many women in Africa dying each year from compli-cations of pregnancy and childbirth. The disability and death of a mother hinders child survival, destroys families, takes children out of school and lowers household and community economic productivity, thus posing a serious challenge to the broader social economic development. Improving Maternal Health (MDG 5) is often called the ‘heart of MDGs’ because if it fails, the other MDGs will also fail. Addressing Safe Motherhood is human rights imperative. It is estimated that 7,700 Kenyan women die each year because of pregnancy-related causes. This translates to approximately 21 women each day or almost one Kenyan woman every hour. Further the Kenya Demographic Health Survey (2008/09) indi-cates that maternal mortality levels in Kenya have remained unacceptably high at 488 per 100,000 live births, with some regions reporting MMRs of over 1000 /100 000 live births. Notably, MDG 5 (Reduce maternal death to 147 per 100,000 by 2015) is doing poorly and there is need to redouble our efforts towards attaining this goal. In addition, around 1.12 million newborns die before they complete their first month of life and another one million babies are stillborn every year. Neonatal mortality rate in Kenya is estimated at 31 deaths per 1,000 live births (KDHS, 2008/09), a very marginal reduction when compared to the other child health indicators that have shown significant improvement. Vision 2030 aims to provide equitable and affordable health care of the highest affordable standard to all citizens, by restructuring health care delivery systems with a shift of emphasis to preventive and promo-tive health care. The emphasis is on access, equity, quality, capacity and institutional framework. The Health Ministries’ core function is to support the attainment of the health goals of the people of Kenya by implementing priority interventions in health, based on their mandate and guided by the Strategic Framework for National Transformation 2008–2012 and the wider health sector. In pursuant of this, the Ministries of Health support the implementation of Vision 2030 and MTP 2008–2012, along with the broad goals of the National Health Sector Strategic Plans. The National Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) Road Map is adapted from the Africa Regional Road map following an agreement by all AU countries to accelerate the attainment of MDGs 4 and 5. The Implementation framework of the strategies adopted for the Road Map require concerted efforts by all stakeholders in the Health Sector from national level down to the community and across the political, social, and corporate divide.

It is envisioned that the implementation of this MNH Road Map will accelerate the attainment of MDG 5, thereby ensuring a vibrant and healthy Kenya. Let us all pull together in the national spirit of ‘Harambee’ and make this a reality.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality continue to be recognised internationally as public health priorities. More than 15 years since the launch of the Safe Motherhood Initiative (SMI), maternal and neonatal mortality levels in Africa have sadly continued to rise instead of decline. Of all maternal deaths occurring globally, 99 percent of them occur in developing countries with Sub-Saharan Africa having the highest maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 900,000 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births and also the highest lifetime risk of maternal deaths of 1:26. Consequently, now more than ever before, the international community realises that unless greater investments are made, MDG 5 will not be attained in Africa.

Maternal mortality levels in Kenya have remained unacceptably high at 488 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, (with some regions reporting MMRs of over 1000 /100 000 live births). Neonatal mortality rate is estimated at 31 deaths per 1,000 live births (KDHS, 2008/09) from 33 deaths per 1,000 live births (KDHS, 2003), a very marginal reduction when compared to the other child indicators that have shown significant improvement. Currently NMR is contributing 67% of IMR. This implies that reduction in newborn mortality would put Kenya on track for attainment of MDG 4.

The slow progress in attainment of Maternal and Newborn health targets in Kenya can be attributed to: i) Limited availability, poor accessibility and low utilization of skilled birth attendance during pregnancy, child birth and postnatal period, ii) low Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care coverage iii) Poor involvement of communities in maternal and newborn care iv) Limited national commitment of resources for maternal and newborn health. The key strategies proposed to accelerate the attainment of MDG 4&5 include: improving availability of, access to, and utilisation of quality maternal and newborn health care; reducing unmet need through expanding access to good quality family planning options for men, women and sexually active adolescents; strengthening the referral system; advocating for increased commitment and resources for MNH and FP services; strengthening community based maternal and newborn health care approaches; and strengthening the monitoring and evaluation system and operations research.

National Road Map

The goal of the National MNH Road Map is to accelerate the reduction of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The specific objectives are:

i. to increase the availability, accessibility, acceptability and utilisation of skilled attendance during pregnancy, childbirth and the post partum period at all levels of the health care delivery system;

ii. to strengthen the capacity of individuals, families, communities, and social networks to improve maternal and newborn health, and lastly.

iii. to strengthen data management and utilisation for improved MNH.

The National MNH Road Map offers a new and revitalised dimension of efforts of all stakeholders. It provides a framework for building strategic partnerships for increased investment in maternal and newborn health at both institutional and programme levels. Implementation will take a phased approach and the final reporting year will be 2015.

INTRODUCTION

Maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality continue to be recognised internationally as public health priorities. The Global Safe Motherhood Initiative launched in Nairobi in 1987 aimed at reducing the burden of maternal deaths and ill health in developing countries. The 1994 ICPD Program of Action later called for a paradigm shift in strategies and policies in the provision of comprehensive and quality reproductive health services. These led to the Millennium Declaration in 2000 and development of goals with indicators.

A major contribution towards the achievement of the MDGs is the commitment of governments of developing countries and the international community, who have adopted the MDGs as their framework for development and cooperation. Two key MDGs relevant to maternal and newborn health are: MDG 4 – reduction in child mortality and MDG 5 - improved maternal health. These goals provide targets for countries in their efforts towards reducing maternal mortality, and increasing both skilled attendance and contraceptive prevalence rate. Other relevant MDGs include No. 3 - Gender equity and women’s empowerment and No. 6 – Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.

The UN recognises that MDGs cannot be achieved in low resource settings without attention to population issues and access to sexual and reproductive health information and services (UNDP, 2005). In order for the achievement of MDG 5 to be made a reality, MMR will have to decrease at a much faster rate, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where the annual decline has so far been about 0.1 percent compared to the expected decline rate of 5.5 percent. The realization of this goal will require increased attention to improved health care for women, including: improved access to health services, reduced unmet need for family planning services, prevention of unsafe abortions, provision of high quality pregnancy and delivery care including essential obstetric care (WHO, 2007). Quick win interventions are therefore being recommended, among them expanding access to SRH information and services, including family planning, and closing the existing funding gap for supplies and logistics (UNDP, 2005). Efficient and effective skilled care during and after labour and delivery can make the difference between life and death for both women and their newborns, as complications are largely unpredictable and may rapidly become life threatening (WHO, 2005).

THE CURRENT SITUATION OF MNH Maternal Health Maternal and newborn conditions account for a substantial part of the health gap between the developed and developing countries. Of the estimated 536,000 maternal deaths that occurred in 2005 globally, 99 percent (533,000) occurred in developing countries with Sub-Saharan Africa having the highest MMR at 900 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The adult lifetime risk of maternal deaths is highest in Africa (1:26), followed by Oceania (1:62), and Asia (1:62); compared with developed countries, where the risk is 1: 7300 (WHO, 2007). Major causes of maternal mortality in SSA are depicted below.

Approximately 13 percent of all maternal deaths occur among adolescents mainly as a result of complications of unsafe abortions (WHO 2008).

National Road Map

The most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality (MOH-Kenya Annual Statistical Report, 2008) are: obstructed labour (29.5%), post partum haemorrhage (25%), ante partum hemorrhage (16.9%) and pre-eclampsia (16.9%).

The situation in Kenya with regards to MNH remains grim with the recently released KDHS 2008/9 basically showing very marginal improvements in the Maternal and Newborn care indicators. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) remains high at 488/100,000 (KDHS 2008/09). The proportion of mothers attending antenatal clinic at least once increased from 88% to 91.5%, deliveries by skilled attendants increased slightly from 40 to 42% and institutional deliveries increased slightly from 40.1 to 43.6% (KDHS, 2008/09). This means that over 50% of deliveries among Kenyan women are attended by unskilled persons; hence both mother and newborns are in danger should any complication arise during delivery or postnatal period. It is unlikely that the country will achieve the maternal mortality target of 147/100,000 by 2015 unless greater attention and efforts to increase skilled attendance are put in place.

Regional disparities within the country exist. Skilled birth attendance was found to be about 40% in Nyanza Province, 30% in North Eastern Province and 25% in Western Province. North Eastern Province has the highest MMR of 1,000-1,300/100,000 (KDHS, 2003). The urban poor also show very high levels of maternal mortality.

Among women who deliver outside the health facility, a vast majority (8 out of 10) do not receive postnatal care. Only 10 percent attend postnatal care within two days of delivery, while 2 percent get care three to six days after delivery (KDHS, 2003). This is despite the fact that majority of maternal deaths occur during the postpartum period. Furthermore, nearly half (46%) of the population live below the poverty line and only 52% of Kenyans are within 5 kilometers of a functional health facility. Rural urban disparities in SBA are also prominent with urban areas showing skilled birth attendance of 72% (2003) and increasing to 75% (2008/09) while rural areas had SBA of 34% (2003) increasing to 37% (2008) (KDHS 2003; 2008/09). Equitable distribution of health facilities and services across the country is also lacking with urban areas having mainly CEOC while rural areas have mainly BEOC. The average recommended EOC facilities per 500 000 population remains low at 1.7 as compared to the recommended 5 EOC facilities/500 000 population.

Newborn HealthGlobal data from vital statistics indicates that in 2004 there were 133 million live births, 3.7 million of whom died in the neonatal period and 5.9 million during the perinatal period. Ninety-eight per cent of these deaths took place in the developing world, where 90% of babies were born (WHO, 2007). The top three causes of newborn death in Africa are infections (29%), prematurity (25%), and asphyxia (24%). Neonatal tetanus, which accounts for 6% of all new born deaths in Africa is one of the most cost-effective conditions to prevent.

The non improvement of maternal indicators is even more significant for neonatal survival. According to the KDHS 2008/09 neonatal mortality rate only reduced marginally from 33 to 31 per 1000 live births contributing to 42% of the under five mortality and 60% of infant mortality. This is an increase when compared to 29 percent of under five mortality and 42% of infant mortality in 2003 (KDHS). Achieving the MDG 4 targets in under-five mortality (33/1000) and infant mortality (26/1000) by 2015 will be a challenge unless neonatal care, which is closely linked to maternal care, receives more attention (Lawn and Kerber, 2006).

The most common causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality (MOH-Kenya Annual Statistical Report, 2008) are pre-maturity and low birth weight (30%), neonatal infections (27%) and birth asphyxia. Despite overwhelming evidence that exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life significantly enhances child survival (Jones, G; Steketee, R; Black, R; Bhutta, Z; & Morris, S. 2003), Kenyan reports indicate that only 35% of infants are exclusively breastfed up to the age of 6 months (KDHS, 2008/09).

Figure 3: Trends in neonatal, infant and under-five mortality in Kenya

MNH ServicesThe Kenya Service Provision Assessment (2004) indicates that only 33 percent of health facilities offer ANC, TT immunisation and post natal care. Normal delivery services are provided by 38 percent of facilities while only 7 percent provide caesarean section. Emergency transport is available in only 27 percent of the facilities (KSPA, 2004).

Obstetric fistula is still a major problem in Kenya, and reflects on health systems failure in terms of early detection and management of complications of labour. The availability of post abortion care services are limited with only 16 percent and 14 percent of facilities offering delivery services having a manual vacuum aspirator and a D&C kit in place respectively (KSPA 2004). These findings demonstrate that Kenya still is far from attaining universal coverage of MNH care.

Results from the Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey 2007 show that the HIV prevalence rate among adults is 7.4% percent while that among pregnant women is higher at 9.0 percent. Although approximately 1.4 million people are currently living with HIV, the majority (83%) of HIV infected persons do not know their HIV status (KAIS, 2007).

Kenya’s target for PMTCT services as outlined in the KNASP II was to increase coverage of PMTCT services to reach 80% of pregnant women by end of 2008, and reduce paediatric HIV infections by 50%. This is in line with the UNGASS 2001 recommendations. The percentage of ANC attendees tested for HIV significantly increased from 50.4% in 2003 to 78.6% in 2007 (KAIS 2007). More work is being done to ensure universal HCT for all pregnant women in Kenya.

Family Planning in known to be a cost effective strategy to enhance maternal and newborn health, reduce maternal and newborn mortality and is one of the prongs of PMTCT. However in Kenya, contraceptive prevalence stands at 46 percent, family planning unmet need among married women aged 15-49 stands at 45.6 percent and the total fertility rate is 4.7. Family planning utilisation is poorest among adolescents with a CPR of 19.6% for any modern method. FP unmet need is very high among HIV positive women with 57.9% of these women not using any contraception at all (KAIS, 2007; KDHS, 2008/09). This may be attributed to the fact that the PMTCT programme is managed as part of the HIV /AIDS programme which gives low prioritisation to the FP prong.

Reasons for Non Improvement of MNH Indicators in Kenya The main reasons for the non improvement of MNH include: low BOEC coverage, poor access to skilled attendance along the continuum of care, lack of community involvement in MNH, high unmet need for family planning and the delays in seeking appropriate skilled care.

The first delay entails a delay in decision making at household level hence the importance of community awareness and participation in MNH programmes. In Kenya, many of these deliveries take place in the villages as a result of ignorance - poor knowledge of danger signs, cultural issues, and poor status of women. Women are not empowered to make decisions on skilled birth attendance, and majority of men still control use of resources at household level.

The second delay involves a delay in moving the woman to hospital. Some women may be willing to go to health facilities, but are not able to go due to various barriers. These include: cost - the cost of maternal care services remains very high for most women in Kenya; access - health facilities are few and sparsely located; the poor state of Kenyan roads and unavailability of transport in many areas makes it hard for many women to access health services at time of need; and poor status of women - most women are not empowered to make decisions on health care due to low education and low socio-economic status.

In the third delay, there is delayed intervention at the facility. This normally arises as a result of poor infrastructure, lack of equipment, and lack of knowledge and skills in EmONC. Poor distribution of health workers has left rural facilities with few or no health workers to provide services. Unfriendly attitude by health workers has also been shown to lower utilization of maternal and newborn Health services.

MNH Policy and Strategy Environment • A National Reproductive Health Policy is in place. • A National Reproductive Health Strategy is in place • A Child Survival and Development Strategy (CSDS) has been developed. • A Health Policy & Financing Strategy is being finalised - the health care financing

strategy advocates for free health care for pregnant women and children under five years. Performance based financing has also been taken as an option in the draft financing strategy. Referral mechanism for community to be included as part of health care financing.

• Adolescent RH and Development Policy is in place.

THE KENYA MATERNAL AND NEWBORN HEALTH MODEL

The six pillars of Maternal and Newborn Health in Kenya include: pre-conceptual care and family planning, focused antenatal care, essential obstetric care, essential newborn care, targeted post-partum care, and lastly post-abortion care. These services are underpinned by the foundation of skilled attendance and a supportive and functional health system. The Kenya MNH model recognises the potential role communities have in the promotion of their own health, the importance of strengthening the interface between the community and health services, as well as promoting the human rights approach to health service delivery. These are also identified by the NHSSP II 2005-2010 (currently extended to 2012) as key areas of focus.

CHALLENGES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MNH SERVICES

Since the launch of the Safe Motherhood Initiative, efforts invested in maternal and newborn health programmes have not yielded the expected results due to several challenges. A combination of structural and infrastructural problems has had a negative effect on the successful implementation of MNH programmes.These include:

Challenges • Limited availability, poor accessibility and low utilization of skilled attendance

during pregnancy, child birth and postpartum period at all levels of the health care delivery system.

• Socio cultural barriers contribute to delay in seeking care as well as reluctance to adopt good practices through behaviour change, thereby increasing the risk of obstetric and newborn complications (for example mother’s preference to deliver at home with unskilled attendants), and lack of community based maternal and newborn care).

• Poor staffing and/or inappropriate staff deployment. • Inadequate health provider competencies in Essential Obstetric and Newborn

Care. • Inadequately articulation of MNH issues in pre-service training curricular. • Poor access to good quality MNH services including family planning. • Inadequate access by adolescents and youth to reproductive health information

and youth friendly services. • Low uptake of PMTCT services.• Inadequate integration of MNH and HIV/AIDS services. • Limited skills in planning and management for use in MNH programming. • Limited national commitment of resources for maternal and newborn health. • A weak public-private partnership in service delivery. • Limited participation of community, family and individuals in MNH.• Lack of gender perspective and male involvement.• Poor monitoring and evaluation. • Poor utilisation of research findings for evidence-based service delivery.

Opportunities • Enabling policies, guidelines, strategies and training materials in place. • Promising government and donor commitment. • Existence of coordination mechanism for MNH. • Promotion of the Better Births Initiative (BBI) and Baby Friendly Hospital

Initiatives (BFHI).

• Adoption of appropriate approaches and best practices. • The National Community Strategy is being rolled out.• Men express readiness for involvement in MNH.• Gender mainstreaming efforts in MNH are underway. • Pre-service institutions showing interest in regular uptake and revision of

curricular.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF THE ROAD MAP

The Kenya Road Map will be grounded on ten key principles. 1. Evidence–based: ensuring that the interventions are based on up-to–date

evidence.

2. Human rights approach, equity and accessibility: human rights and freedom must be respected and reflected through scaling up of cost-effective interventions that promote equitable access to quality maternal and newborn care services with special attention to the poor and vulnerable groups.

3. Health systems approach: focus on the delivery of maternal and newborn health at all levels, more so, using primary health care as an entry point for engaging community resources and strengthening the referral system.

4. Phased planning and implementation: promoting implementation in clear phases with timelines and benchmarks that enable re-planning for best results.

5. Complementarity: leveraging on existing programmes and recognising the comparative advantage of the different partners in the planning, implementation and evaluation of maternal and newborn health programmes.

6. Partnership: promoting partnership, coordination and joint programming among stakeholders including the private sector, professional associations and councils at all levels in order to improve collaboration, maximise resources and avoid duplication.

7. Clear definition of roles and responsibilities: defining the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the maternal and newborn program is essential for increased synergy.

8. Promotion of gender equity and equality: promotion of gender equity and equality, including the elimination of all forms of gender-based violence and related harmful practices must be addressed at all levels of service delivery.

9. Male involvement: involvement of men as responsible partners to increase

access to and use of maternal and newborn health services.

10. Governance, transparency and accountability: promoting a sense of stewardship, accountability and transparency on the part of the government as well as other stakeholders for enhanced sustainability.

THE KENYA MNH ROAD MAP - STRATEGIC DIRECTION

Vision: Efficient and high quality MNH services that are accessible, equitable, acceptable, and affordable for all Kenyans.

Goal: To accelerate the reduction of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Specific objectives 1. To strengthen data management and utilisation for improved MNH. 2. To increase the availability, accessibility, acceptability and utilisation of skilled

Annex IV: Costing of the MNH Road Map

The costing of the MHN Road Map is based on evidence based planning, costing and budgeting. It is aligned to overall guiding principles of the MNH Road Map namely: evidence based; health systems approach and; phased planning and implementation and to the narrative structure of the MNH Road Map. The alignment is achieved using an updated Marginal Budgeting for the Bottlenecks (MBB) version 5.0 toolkit for Kenya. The MBB tool was recently last updated based on the 2008/9 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, 2009/10 Ministerial Public Expenditure Review (MPER) and 2010/11 budget.

The MBB application has inputs for health system, epidemiology, evidence based interventions and their coverage, economics, finance and budget and, fiscal space. The MBB application for Kenya health system design starts at level 1-community through to level 6 with specific inputs for existing infrastructure and human resources. The epidemiology inputs include current population projections and disease burden. The tool is modeled on evidence based interventions for each of the health system levels, their baseline coverage and Kenya Essential Package for Health (KEPH) priorities. The tool is set with 2009/10 as the baseline for a phased three year planning period hence aligning to current Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The economic inputs include various unit costs for the interventions while the finance and budget inputs include probable sources of funding aligned to National Health Strategic Plan II programmes, sub-programmes and MTEF programmes for the health sector. In puts into fiscal space include details on the country’s macro-economic parameters such as GDP, inflation and government revenue expenditure in health.

As shown in Table 1 total additional cost is for MNH Road Map is Ksh. 2 billion in 2009/10 rising to Ksh. 3 billion in 2010/11. The total additional cost reaches the highest level of Ksh.4.1 billion in the 2011/12 financial year. Thereafter, the costs start reducing hence sending the message that investment in MNH starts to pay off with reduced costs after a period of about 3 years.

Evidence based planning is one of the underlying principals of MNH Road Map implementation. The additional cost of monitoring and evaluation in 2009/10 is Ksh.64.5 million, Ksh.127.5 million in 2010/11 and Ksh.192.8 million in 2011/12. The evidence will be collected through a functional monitoring and evaluation system, operations research and used to inform the planning process. The additional cost of operations research in 2009/10 is Ksh.79.5 million, Ksh.150.8 million in 2010/11 and Ksh.222.8 million in 2011/12. On the other hand, the additional cost of evidence based planning in 2009/10 is Ksh.16.5 million, Ksh.33.0 million in 2010/11 and Ksh.49.5 million in 2011/12.

The highest spending levels are in access to and utilization of quality MNH care and

Page 39: NATIONAL ROAD MAP - K4Health to Maternal...Framework for National Transformation 2008–2012 and the wider ... The development of the National Road Map involved extensive ... • Nairobi

August 2010

National Road Map31

community approaches. The additional cost of access to and utilization of quality MNH in 2009/10 is Ksh.1billion, Ksh.1.2 billion in 2010/11 and Ksh. 1.3 billion in 2011/12. The additional cost for community based approaches increased to a high of about Ksh.1.5 billion in 2011/12 much more higher than the additional cost for access to and utilization of quality MNH care. The community level therefore attracts one of the highest additional indicative costs. This reflects the evidence and potential of community level interventions to substantially influence impact on maternal and newborn status. The high additional indicative cost requirements also reflect low levels of funding for community interventions in the past.

Access to good quality family planning option attracts additional cost of 237.7 million in 2009/10, Ksh.429 million in 2010/11 and Ksh.623 million in 2011/12. MNH related referral costs stand at Ksh.164 million for each of the three financial years. Advocacy and fostering partnerships are key in the implementation of MNH Road Map. As shown in the table 1 below, the costs are lowest but investment in these areas is important.
